Is it possible to let showidx display index entries on the same line as the text being indexed? It seems not as makeindx.pdf says:
This macro actually typesets the box containing all the index entries on the current page [...].
Which is a bit ironical since, in makeindx.pdf itself, the name of the macro being thereby described, \@mkidx, is in the margin, just in front of the text. (Of course, the environment seems different and \@mkidx is probably not an index entry. On the other hand, the text in cleveref.pdf, which also has margin entries, seems to be just ... text.)
So, given that I am already using hyperref, cleveref and tcolorbox, what might be an answer? Hopefully one that does not require yet another package.
Here is a rather long but minimal example:
% !TEX TS-program = pdflatexmk
\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{makeidx}
\usepackage[hyperfootnotes=false]{hyperref}%[pdfborder={0 0 0}]

But I just realized I had missed the "i" in front ofimakeidx. I will experiment. – schremmer Feb 10 '16 at 04:16imakeidxandreledmac.
